Rims?

Looking for suggestions, I have a 2005 Black Cab. I was thinking Carlsson 1/5, Brabus Monoblock VI, but I have not been able to find pictures of the Renntech rims so I can't make a final decision.

Shine used to have Carlsson 1/5 or 2/5 back right when he got his old CLK 2-3 years ago, and I had 18" 1 piece MB VIs when I originally got my car. I just saw the Renntech rims on a car in the SL55 forum a couple days ago. If you can get a side on shot of your car, I'd be happy to do a couple crude PS images so that you can see how it looks.

Unless you really like the Brabus I would stay away from it. As great as they may look, it seems like every other MB that has aftermarket rims have those Brabus ones. I think the Renntech ones would look good.

Hello,

this is Carlsson wheel 1/5BE in 19' on CLK Coupé. Definitely a good choice!

No, it's just one of the DTM pictures from fan-gallerie that I photoshopped a little. My car is still the same... for now
